Erich Mühsam, 1878 bis 1934, Dichter, Bohemian und Anarchist.
In der Weimarer Republik kämpfte er für die Freilassung politischer Gefangener und war ein steter Warner vor dem heraufziehenden Faschismus. In der Nacht des Reichstagsbrandes wurde Erich Mühsam verhaftet, in Gefängninissen und Lagern gequält, bis er in der Nacht vom 9. zum 10. Juli 1934 von der bayerischen SS-Wachmannschaft des KZ Oranienburg ermordet wurde.
Das mögliche Bessere
Seit 2009 arbeiteten die Herausgeber an der Vorbereitung dieser monumentalen Ausgabe, der erste Band erschien im Juni 2011 im Berliner Verbrecher-Verlag. Dieser hat damit einiges an verlegerischem Idealismus unter Beweis gestellt. Mehr als ambitioniert, konnte man nach knapp acht Jahren die Edition nun mit Band 15 abschließen.

Better to have a few rats than to be one
Finally, while we would not sink to name-calling in the Trumpian manner — or ruefully point out that he failed to spell the congressman’s name correctly (it’s Cummings, not Cumming) — we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one.
Baltimore Sun editorial board lashes out at Trump: ‚Better to have a few rats than to be one‘
The Baltimore Sun editorial board ripped President Trump as the „most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office“ on Saturday in a scorching piece after Trump referred to Rep. Elijah Cummings‘ (D-Md.) 7th congressional district, which includes west Baltimore, as a „rat and rodent infested mess.“
@RepCummings is a champion in the Congress and the country for civil rights and economic justice, a beloved leader in Baltimore, and deeply valued colleague. We all reject racist attacks against him and support his steadfast leadership. #ElijahCummingsIsAPatriot
I‘m begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on. Because if you want to have a democracy intact for your children, and your children‘s children, and generations yet unborn we‘ve got to guard this moment…this is our watch.

חד“ש רצה במשותפת. זו האלטרנטיבה עבור כל הציבור בישראל, ערבים ויהודים. האופוזיציה האמיתית במציאות הפוליטית שלנו. רק משותפת חזקה יכולה להפיל את שלטון הימין ולפגוע בתוכניות לרסק את שאריות המרחב הדמוקרטי. אנחנו ניאבק בכל המקומות שהשלטון עובד נגד הציבור – בשטח ובכנסת, באומץ ובנחישות.
The Joint List, Reborn, Must Now Win the Trust of the Israeli Arab Public

New left-wing alliance including Ehud Barak aims to unseat Netanyahu in Israel’s elections
The united slate announced Thursday has the far-left Meretz party running with Barak’s new Israel Democratic Party and Stav Shaffir, who left the Labor Party, under the Democratic Camp moniker. It also hopes to bring Tzipi Livni, a former foreign minister, out of political retirement.
What it means: While Democratic Camp won’t overtake Netanyahu’s Likud and his right-wing camp, it could combine with the center-left Blue and White party to ensure that Benny Gantz, a former military chief of staff, is tapped to form the government.
Netanyahu is now Israel’s longest-serving leader. Watch some of the key moments on his rocky road so far.
(21.07.2019)
To his passionate supporters, Netanyahu, known fondly by his nickname, “Bibi,” is an unrivaled world leader with cultlike status. They credit him with expanding Israel’s international alliances, helping foster its thriving high-tech industries and remaining a steady hand on security. For his fans, the allegations of corruption and impropriety that have plagued him are an underhanded attempt by his left-wing rivals to unseat him, as they have failed to do so at the ballot box.
The Last Thing Israel Needs Is Yet Another Election
(24.07.2019)
Why doesn’t Mr. Netanyahu seek out different coalition partners? The centrist Blue and White party is expected to be the strongest opposition party in the coming Knesset and a unity government of Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud and Blue and White would likely be popular among Israelis, a majority of whom believe Mr. Netanyahu is the most fit to lead but don’t have much love for his past coalition partners, especially the ultra-Orthodox.

How Modern Tyrants Use Terror Management to Consolidate Power – Be ready for an American Reichstag fire when it comes.
(04.04.2017)
The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on—this is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book. Do not fall for it. Modern tyrants are terror managers. Do not allow your shock to be turned against your freedom. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that aspiring tyrants exploit such events in order to change regimes and to consolidate power.

On my watch, the Treasury is ready to play a full role in delivering Brexit
In 95 days we will leave the EU. Of that there should be no doubt. Three years after the referendum, the countdown to delivering on the democratic will of the British people has well and truly begun. In three months’ time, we will be an independent nation once more. Free to set our own path to our own future.
